Parlay Football Bet
This is simply because most sports bettors are not familiar with how they work, or how to bet them properly. In this article, I’ll address parlay betting strategies, but first let’s look at parlay odds and how they are calculated. The parlay odds at most Las Vegas sportsbooks are: 2 teams 2.6 to 1 3 teams 6-1 4 teams 10-1 5 teams 20-1 6.
- 2 Team Parlay Payouts - Betting Parlays Explained Payouts on a 2 team parlay are standard throughout the industry at 13/5. Sportsbooks will pay $2.64 for every $1.00 wagered.
- A parlay is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers for a high payout. A 2 team parlay might pay 13/5, a three team parlay might pay 6/1, a four team parlay might pay 10/1, and so forth with the payouts getting higher with more teams or totals selected. For a single bet, 2 to 8 teams or totals can be selected.
- A parlay is a single sports wager that involves two or more bets combined into one. This can include point spreads, moneylines, totals, futures, or even prop bets, as long as the bets are on.
It’s Week 10 of the college football season and that means we are back with our favorite parlay of the week. This bet includes a few favorites and a few underdogs to increase the odds.

Leg 1: Michigan -3 (-110) at Indiana
Our first leg of the parlay will feature Michigan (1-1) covering a field-goal spread over Indiana (2-0). After a disappointing loss to Michigan State last week, look for the Wolverines to bounce back in a big way in this critical Big Ten matchup. Michigan has won six straight games at Indiana and should be expected to take care of business here in its third game of the season.

Leg 2: Florida at Georgia -3 (-115)
Arguably the best matchup of the week features two SEC powerhouses facing off with Georgia (4-1) taking on Florida (3-1). The Gators have a ton of talented weapons on offense, but the Bulldogs have the defensive backs to slow down their offense. Expect this game to be close throughout, but for Georgia to win by at least 4 points.
Leg 3: Stanford at Oregon -7.5 (-115)
This line is surprisingly low considering Oregon has won 12 of its last 13 games and its offense was one of the best in the nation over that stretch. While the Ducks will be ushering in a new quarterback after Justin Herbert left for the NFL Draft, expect the team to score into the upper 30s and easily cover this spread Saturday evening.
Leg 4: Clemson at Notre Dame (+155)
With QB Trevor Lawrence (COVID-19) out of the lineup, Clemson (7-0) could be in big trouble against Notre Dame (6-0) this week. Clemson nearly lost to Boston College last week and Notre Dame is one of the better teams in the country. The Fighting Irish have won 10 straight home games, so take them to upset the Tigers and win outright.

The Cougars hav won six straight games over Oregon State and the Beavers have been an awful home team over the last two seasons.
